I want to run a campaign set in time period of US civil war, I don't know of any system that could do that. What I need is a system that has mass battle rules and is good for political games.
>>
Gurps, BRP , savage worlds , fate
in this order it depends on the amount of effort you want to put in the ruleframe of the setting, gurps is very detailed but also very work intensive to get to work. Fate on the otherhand is very focused on rp

You should check out Colonial Gothic.

I have both versions uploaded; I can post them later if you want them.

>and is good for political games.

Political games are inherently shit, but Savage Worlds has good rules for large combats as well as mass combat, and also has muskets. Search "savage worlds test drive" on google and the first result should be a PDF with the basic rules.

For OSR games, you have Lamentations of the Flame Princess for the 17th century, A Ghastly Affair for the 18th century, and Engines & Empires for the 19th century.

GURPS

But other than that, also FATE and Savage Worlds

I feel like Dogs of the Vineyard could run this very well, albeit very individualistically.

GURPS, Savage Worlds, Fate. Depends on what you want.

If you're invested in the game (read: willing to put in some work) and want a tactical experience, GURPS.

If you want a more pulpy campaign where the characters are civil war heroes, somewhat larger than life, with a decent amount of tactics, Savage Worlds.

If you want a story-driven campaign where the narrative rules and isn't tactical, Fate.

If you want good inspiration for how a gunner would operate in combat look at the The Powdermage Trilogy by Brian Mcclellan

Savage Worlds also has some actual half-descent rules for social interaction, which would definitely help for a game about political intrigue.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Are you fucking serious?

Social combat rules are complete garbage in concept, but the ones for Savage Worlds are just put the cherry on the shit sundae. Whoever came up with those ought to be fired from every RPG company in existence. Goddamn.
